keep  a  book,  in  which  shall  be  entered  copies  of  all  the  inspection 
reports  herein  required.  The  originals  of  said  reports  shall  bo 
forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  on  the  completion  of  the  in- 
spections. 

15 The  commanding  officer  of  an  armory  shall  authorize  the 

issue  of  materials  required  for  fabrication  in  the  workshops  in  such 
quantities,  and  at  such  times,  as  may  be  considered  necessary;  pro-

charge  of  the  master  armorer)  shall  at  no  time  exceed  the  quantity 
which  may  be  required  for  use  in  the  course  of  three  months. 

16 At  each  national   armory  the  master  armorer  shall   keep

facture in  an  equal  state  of  advancement.  He  shall  be  the  chief 
inspector  of  all  materials  and  tools,  and  of  all  finished  arms,  to  be

comptrollers,  each  in  his  proper  department,  of  the  work  executed. 
Suitable  marks  are  to  be  adopted  to  ensure  the  due  inspection  of  all 
parts  of  the  work,  and  the  responsibility  of  the  foremen. 

18 The  foremen  at  each  of  the  national   armories  shall  make 

out  and  hand  to  the  master  armorer  certified  monthly  rolls,  specify- 
ing the  names  of  the  persons  employed,  the  quantity  of  work  per-

whether  by  the  established  regulations  or  particular  stipulations. 
And  the  master  armorer  shall  also  certify  to  the  correctness  of  said

labor,  skill  or  ability  required  in  its  execution ;  and  each  workman 
thereon  employed  shall  be  assigned  to  work  under  some  one  class ; 
shall  be  denominated  of  that  class;  and  shall  receive  a  daily  com- 
pensation corresponding  thereto  ;  such  compensation  shall  be  estab- 
lished on  the  following  principles,  to  wit :  First,  of  an  estimated  fair 
day's  work  for  every  variety  of  work  under  each  class  ;  second,  of  a 
just  and  reasonable  per  diem  allowance,  corresponding  thereto,  which 
shall  be  greater  or  less,  according  to  the  greater  or  less  degree  of 
labor,  skill  and  ability  required ;  third,  of  the  amount  of  work  done,

estimated  fair  day's  work  of  his  class ;  and  if  ho  perform  more  or 
less  than  such  fair  day's  work,  then  his  compensation  shall  be  pro- 
portionately greater  or  less  than  such  per  diem  allowance. 

20 Whenever    at    national    armories,    arsenals,    or    ordnance 

depots,  any  hired  workmen  shall,  through  incompetency  or  design, 
spoil  any  piece  of  work,  in  the  execution  of  which  he  may  be  en- 
gaged, it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  commanding  officer  to  cause  the 
amount  of  injury  to  bo  estimated,  and  give  the  necessary  infor- 
mation to  the  paymaster  to  stop  the  same  from  the  pay  of  such 
workman.

quarterly  rent-roll,  specifying  the  names  of  the  occupants,  the 
periods  for  which  rents  are  charged,  the  price  per  quarter,  and  the 
amount  due  from  each  person,  shall  be  prepared  by  the  commanding 
officer,  agreeably  to  form  No.  14.  The  proper  designation  shall  be 
added  to  the  names  of  such  persons  as  may  be  entitled  to  the  use  of 
dwellings  rent  free.  If  the  officer  who  prepares  the  roll  is  not  the 
disbursing  officer,  he  shall  furnish  the  latter  with  one  copy  and  shall 
transmit  another  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance.  The  disbursing  officer 
shall  retain  the  roll  in  his  office,  and  shall  credit  the  amount  col- 
lected in  his  account  current;  and  it  is  made  his  duty  to  collect  the 
sums  due  from  the  several  individuals  charged,  by  retaining  in  his 
hands  the  proper  amount  when  making  the  monthly  payments  ;  it  is 
not  required  that  the  rents  charged  and  collected  shall  be  entered  on 
the  pay-rolls,  the  credit  in  the  accounts  current,  with  the  proper 
rent-roll,  being  sufficient. 

22 Master  armorers  and  clerks  employed  at  the  national  armo- 
ries shall  be  allowed  quarters,  rent  free,  when  there  are  buildings

improvements,  plans  and  estimates  therefor  shall  be  made  by  the 
commanding  officer,  and  be  transmitted  in  time  to  be  received  at  the 
ordnance  office  in  the  month  of  August.  Estimates  for  any  of  these

causes  which  render  them  necessary,  the  measures  by  which  it  is 
proposed  to  effect  them,  and  their  probable  cost.  The  estimate,  if 
approved  by  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  shall  be  submitted  to  the  Secre- 
tary of  War,  and,  if  sanctioned  by  him,  shall  be  embodied  in  the 
general  estimate  submitted  annually  to  Congress.  Works  of  the 
description  above  mentioned  shall  in  no  case  be  undertaken  or  com- 
menced but  by  special  authority  from  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance 
Bureau. 

26 Authority  from   the   Chief  of  Ordnance  must,  in  all  cases,

arsenals,  or  ordnance  depots,  shall  be  engaged  on  daily  wages  and 
not  on  monthly  wages  or  salaries.  In  places  where  it  is  found 
necessary  to  employ  slaves  on  public  works,  and  where  the  customs 
of  the  country  do  not  permit  of  daily  hire,  slaves  may  be  engaged 
on  monthly  wages.  In  such  cases  parts  of  months  will  be  set  forth 
as  in  form  No.  18.

year,  working  by  daylight  only.  In  cases  where  men  labor  more 
than  the  usual  number  of  working  days,  the  commanding  officer  will 
explain  on  the  pay-roll  the  necessity  therefor. 

30 No   slave,   the  property  of   any   officer  or  person   in   the 

service  of  the  Confederate  States,  connected  with  the  War  Depart- 
ment, shall  be  employed  in  the  Ordnance  Bureau^

relieving  officer,  for  settlement ;  no  outstanding  claims,  other  than 
those  embraced  in  such  accounts  and  abstract,  shall  be  settled  with- 
out instructions  from  the  Ordnance  Bureau. 

34 No  money  shall  be  disbursed  at  any  national  armory,  arse- 
nal, or  ordnance  depot,  until  the  pay-roll  or  other  account  shall  have 
been  first  examined,  approved  and  certified  to  be  correct  by  the 
officer  having  charge  of  such  armory,  arsenal,  or  depot ;  and  the 
amount  shall  be  stated  in  words  and  not  in  figures  ;  and  when  the 
disbursements  are  not  made  by  the  commanding  officer,  such  ap- 
proval and  certificate  shall  be  a  necessary  voucher  in  the  settlement 
of  the  accounts  of  the  disbursing  officer. 

35 It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  paymaster  and  store-keeper  at 

each  of  the  national  armories,  to  make  all  disbursements,  to  receive

manding officer,  in  all  matters  which  regard  the  inspection,  preser- 
vation and  issue  of  the  stores ;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  said 
commanding  officer  to  furnish  the  store-keeper  at  all  times  with  the 
necessary  aid  from  the  force  under  his  command,  to  assist  in  receiv- 
ing, delivering,  removing  and  arranging  the  ordnance  and  ordnance 
stores,  and  in  repairing  and  preserving  all  public  buildings  in  which 
they  may  be  deposited. 

37 In  case  of  an  arsenal  or  ordnance  depot  being  left  without 

any  other  commissioned  officer,  the  charge  of  the  post  shall  devolve 
on  the  military  store-keeper,  who  shall  conform  to  such  instructions 
as  may  be  given  him  by  the  commanding  officer  on  leaving  the  post. 

38 A  military  store-keeper  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau  shall,  when 

required  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  in  addition  to  his  other  duties, 
disburse  the  funds  for  the  ordnance  service  at  the  post  where  he 
may  be  stationed ;  and  he  shall  in  that  case  give  a  bond,  with  ap- 
proved security,  in  such  sum  as  the  Secretary  of  War  may  direct, 
for  the  faithful   performance  of  his  duty. 

39 At  arsenals  of   construction,   and   other  ordnance  depots, 

where  there  is  no  store-keeper,  and  at  which  the  annual  disburse- 
ments exceed  five  thousand  dollars,  the  officer  second  in  rank  shall, 
if  required  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  be  the  disbursing  officer, 

40 Every  disbursing  officer  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau  shall  be 

held  responsible  for  the  safe-keeping  of  the  funds  placed  in  his 
hands,  in  the  manner  prescribed  by  the  regulations  of  the  War  and 
Treasury  Departments.  A  disbursing  officer,  on  being  relieved  from

military  posts,  or  other  agents  of  the  War  Department,  he  shall  in 
like  manner  hand  over  to  the  military  store-keeper  the  invoices 
accompanying  said  property.     (See  form  No.  2.) 

42 All  orders  for  the  issue  of  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  in 

charge  of  any  military  store-keeper,  shall  be  directed  to  the  com- 
manding officer  of  the  armory,  arsenal,  or  depot,  to  "which  such  store- 
keeper is  attached ;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  said  commanding 
officer  to  see  that  such  orders  are  faithfully  and  promptly  executed. 
All  issues  of  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  in  charge  of  the  store-keeper 
at  any  arsenal,  ordnance  depot,  or  national  armory,  for  the  purposes  of 
construction  in  the  armory  or  ordnance  shops,  or  for  the  current

■written  order  of  the  commanding  officer,  or  of  some  military  or 
armory  officer  appointed  by  him  for  that  purpose  ;  and  an  abstract 
of  such  orders  for  current  issues  shall  be  made  and  presented  by  the 
store-keeper,  at  the  end  of  each  quarter,  to  the  commanding  officer, 
who  shall  authenticate  the  same.     (See  form  No.  9.) 

43 Ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  shall  not  be  issued  for  con- 
struction in  the  ordnance  shops,  or  for  the  current  service  of  any 
military  post,  except  on  the  "written  authority  of  the  commander,  or 
that  of  some  military  officer,  or  other  responsible  person  acting 
under  his  order ;  and  such  authoritj^  shall,  in  all  cases,  state  the 
object  of  the  issue,  and  be  filed  in  the  ordnance  or  adjutant's  office 
of  the  post,  in  order  that  the  quarterly  abstract  of  materials  expended 
or  consumed  at  the  post  (see  form  No.  9)  may  be  in  conformity  to 
the  orders  for  issue. 

44 When  an  order  for   supplies   is  received  at   any   armory,

the  oflBcer  to  -whom  the  stores  are  addressed,  or  for  whose  command 
they  are  designed.  The  dates  when  the  order  was  received,  and  the 
articles  turned  over  for  transportation,  will  be  stated  in  the  next 
monthly  statement  of  work  done.     (See  form  No.  29.) 

45 Requisitions  for  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores,  needed  at  any 

armory,  arsenal,  or  ordnance  depot,  shall  exhibit,  in  addition  to  the 
description  and  quantity  of  property  asked  for,  the  amount  of  simi- 
lar articles  on  hand,  with  full  explanations,  showing  the  propriety  of 
the  issue.  (See  form  No.  24.)  These  requisitions  shall  be  forwarded 
to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  and,  if  approved  by  him,  the  requisite 
orders  shall  be  given. 

4G In   case    of   the   authorized   absence  of   a   military   store- 

keeper,  and  at  arsenals  or  ordnance  depots,  where  there  is  no  store- 
keeper, the  commanding  officer  will  be  held  responsible  for  the  safe- 
keeping and  preservation  of  all  public  property  committed  to  his 
charge ;  but  he  may  assign  to  a  junior  officer  of  the  arsenal  or  depot 
the  immediate  charge  of  it,  and  also  the  duty  of  preparing  the 
proper  returns. 

47 To  guard  against  the  embezzlement  of  ordnance  and  ord- 
nance stores,  they  shall  be  distinctly  and  permanently  marked,  so  as 
to  identify  them  as  being  the  property  of  the  Confederate  States, 
previously  to  their  being  sent  from  the  arsenals  or  ordnance  depots. 

48 No  hired  or  enlisted  man  engaged  in  the  service  of  the 

Ordnance  Bureau,  at  any  national  armory,  arsenal,  ordnance  depot, 
or  with  any  military  command,  shall  be  employed  for  the  private 
benefit  of  officers  or  other  persons,  with  or  without  compensation ;

tools  and  materials  must  be  used  solely  for  purposes  of  public 
benefit ;  and  all  private  work  in  the  public  buildings,  and  all  other 
application  of  public  means  to  any  other  than  public  purposes,  is 
expressly  prohibited.  It  shall  be  the  special  duty  of  all  officers  or 
other  agents  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  and  especially  inspectors  to

cified grade  of  workmen  to  be  employed  at  each  arsenal  or  depot,  all  of 
whom  shall  be  enlisted  in  the  grade  of  laborer ;  from  which  grade 
promotions  shall  be  made  of  such  as  may  be  found  to  merit  it,  at

under  the  provisions  contained  in  the  next  articles  of  these  regu- 
lations. 

60 Enlisted  men  in  the  Ordnance  Bureau  will  be  mustered  in

listed man  shall  be  efficient  in  the  discharge  of  the  duties  required 
of  him,  according  to  his  grade.  Enlisted  master  workmen  will  be 
appointed,  when  required,  by  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  upon  recom- 
mendations of  the  senior  officers  of  arsenals  or  depots.  Ordnance 
men  will  be  discharged  by  their  commanders  on  expiration  of  enlist- 
ment; but  for  any  other  cause  they  can  be  discharged  only  by  the 
War  Department,  or  by  sentence  of  a  general  court  martial.

according  to  form  No.  26 ;  one  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Ord- 
nance, and  the  other  to  be  retained  at  the  post  or  station  where  the 
man  was  enlisted.

service  may  require,  not  to  exceed  one  for  each  military  post,  whose 
duty  it  shall  be  to  receive  and  preserve  the  ordnance,  arms,  ammu- 
nition and  other  military  stores,  at  the  post,  under  the  direction  of 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  same,  and  under  such  regulations  as

for  the  safe-keeping  of  the  property,  and  he  shall  be  governed  by 
the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  in  making  issues  of  the 
same  and  in  preparing  and  furnishing  the  requisite  returns.  If  the 
means  at  his  disposal  are  not  sufficient  for  the  preservation  of  the 
property,  he  shall  report  the  circumstances  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance, 
who  shall  take  measures  accordingly. 


SECTION  v.— ORDNANCE  STORES  IN  SERVICE. 

Aeticle  66 In   time  of  war,   arms,   ordnance   and   ordnance 

stores,  for  arming,  equipping  and  supplying  the  troops  in  service, 
will  be  issued  upon  the  order  of  any  General  or  field  officer  com- 
manding an  army,  garrison  or  detachment,  whose  order  shall  be 
transmitted  to  the  Ordnance  Bureau  by  the  officer  or  agent  by  whom 
the  issue  is  made.  The  arming  of  permanent  fortifications  will  be 
specially  directed  by  the  Secretary  of  War. 

^7 Any  officer  commanding  a  district  or  geographical  depart- 
ment, who,  in  time  of  peace,  may  require  authority  to  call,  at  his 
discretion,  for  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores  from  the  arsenals  and 
depots  within  the  extent  of  his  command,  shall  make  application  for 
that  purpose  to  the  Secretary  of  War  through  the  Adjutant  General's 
office.

ORDNANCE    STORES   IN    SERVICE.  '  15 

tLo  President  of  the  Confederate  States,  or  in  cases  of  servile  insur- 
rection or  foreign  invasion.  Whenever  issues  arc  made  under  this 
exception,  the  order  therefor  shall  be  immediately  forwarded  to  tho 
ordnance  office,  accompanied  by  a  statement  of  the  reasons  for  the 
issue. 

59 Ordnance  stores  issued  on  urgent  occasions,  as  provided  in 

the  next  preceding  article,  shall,  if  not  expended,  bo  carefully  stored 
at  some  convenient  ordnance  depot  when  the  urgency  ceases. 

60 One  complete  set  of  arms  and  accoutrements  of  each  de- 
scription may,  if  the  state  of  the  public  supplies  will  permit,  be 
issued  to  any  officer  of  the  army  for  his  own  use,  and  no  other's,  oq 
his  payment  of  the  cost  price  thereof  to  the  issuing  officer. 

61 All  orduance  stores  issued  for  the  personal  use  of  officers, 

agreeably  to  article  57,  shall  be  accounted  for  on  the  quarterly 
return  of  property  of  tlie  officer  making  the  issue ;  and  the  voucher 
for  such  issue  shall  bo  the  duplicate  acknowledgment  of  the  officer 
receiving  the  stores,  stating  the  fact  of  having  received  the  same 
and  paid  for  them:  the  amount  paid  being  likewise  stated  in  tho 
acknowledgment.  (See  form  No.  21.)  The  disbursing  officer  of  tho 
arsenal,  armory,  or  depot,  from  which  the  issue  is  made,  will  credit 
all  moneys  thus  received  in  his  next  quarterly  account  current. 

62 Ordnance  and  ordnance  stores  in  charge  of  any  ordnance 

officer,  or  tho  command  of  any  regiment,  company,  or  detachment, 
or  other  agent  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  shall  in  no  case  be  issued  or 
loaned  to  individuals,  except  as  provided  in  article  57,  or  authorized 
by  law  ;  nor  shall  they,  under  any  circumstances,  be  used  for  private 
purposes  by  any  officer  or  other  agent  of  the  army,  or  be  diverted 
from  their  legitimate  use,  as  indicated  by  the  regulations  and  the 
laws  appropriating  money  for  the  service  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau. 

63 Requisitions  (according  to  form  24)  for  ordnance  and  ord- 
nance stores  for  the  use  of  regiments,  companies,  detachments,  or 
military  posts  or  stations,  shall,  in  time  of  peace,  be  transmitted  to 
the  General  or  comraa,nder  of  the  district  or  geographical  department 
within  which  such  regiment,  company,  detachment,  or  militaiy  post 
or  station  is  situated,  who  will  sanction,  modify,  or  annul  such 
requisition  at  his  discretion.     If  sanctioned  or  modified,  he   shall 


16  ORDNANCE    STORES   IN    SERVICE. 

transmit  the  same  through  the  Adjutant  General  for  the  decision  of 
the  General-in-Chief. 

64 In  cases  of  urgent  necessity,  the  requisitions  may  be  trans- 
mitted direct  to  the  Adjutant  General  for  the  decision  of  the  General- 
in-Chief,  duplicates  thereof  being  immediately  forwarded,  as  pre- 
scribed in  the  preceding  article. 

65 The  Chief  of  Ordnance  shall  examine  all  requisitions  for 

ordnance  supplies,  and  under  the  direction  of  the  Secretary  of  War 
shall  modify  and  regulate  them  in  such  manner  as  to  curtail  all 
extravagancies,  to  suit  them  to  the  exigencies  of  the  service,  to 
existing  appropriations,  and  to  just  and  proper  views  of  economy ; 
and  in  the  performance  of  this  part  of  his  duty,  he  shall  invariably 
communicate  with  the  General-in-Chief  of  the  army. 

66 It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  under  [the 

direction  of  the  General-in-Chief,  to  see  that  a  sufficient  quantity  of 
ordnance,  ammunition  and  ordnance  stores  are  deposited  at  every 
military  post  where  troops  are  stationed. 

67 On  the  receipt  of  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  by  any  officer 

of  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  or  by  any  other  officer  or  agent  of  the 
army,  such  officer  or  agent  shall  cause  the  same  to  be  immediately 
examined  and  entered  on  the  property  return  of  the  post,  company  or 
detachment,  and  he  shall  transmit  to  the  forwarding  officer  duplicate 
receipts  for  tlie  same,  (form  No.  7,)  stating  the  number  or  quantity, 
and  the  condition  of  the  articles  received.  If,  on  examination,  it 
shall  appear  that  there  are  less  than  specified  in  the  invoice,  or  have 
sustained  material  injury  in  the  transportation,  it  shall  be  the  duty 
of  such  officer  or  agent  to  report  the  amount  of  loss  or  damage  to  the 
Chief  of  Ordnance ;  and  also  to  the  proper  officer  of  the  Quarter- 
master's Department ;  to  the  end  that,  if  such  loss  or  damage  has 
been  caused  by  neglect  of  the  agent  of  transportation,  it  may  be 
deducted  from  the  amount  allowed  him  for  that  service. 

68 The  receipt  of  ordnance  stores  at  an  arsenal  or  ordnance 

depot  shall  be  noted  on  the  monthly  statement  of  work  done.  (Foi'm 
No.  29.)  The  receipt  of  stores  at  any  other  military  post,  or  by  an 
officer  in  command  of  troops,  shall  be  immediately  reported  to  the 
Chief  of  Ordnance.

G9 When  an  officer  or   agent  of  the  army,  who   shall  have 

received  an  invoice  of  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  to  be  forwarded 
to  him,  has  reason  to  believe  tliat  they  have  been  lost  or  miscarried, 
or  arc  deposited  in  irresponsible  hands,  it  shall  be  his  duty  to 
acquaint  the  forwarding  officer  of  such  failure.  And  it  shall  be  the 
duty  of  both  officers  to  make  diligent  inquiries,  along  the  route  of 
transportation,  of  all  persons  into  whose  hands  such  ordnance  or 
ordnance  stores  might  probably  have  passed;  the  result  of  which 
shall  bo  reported  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance.  Should  it  be  ascer- 
tained that  the  stores  have  been  lost,  then  the  officer  to  whom  they 
were  sent  shall  enclose  a  certificate  (see  form  No.  11)  to  the  for- 
warding officer,  who  shall  transmit  the  same,  accompanied  by  one 
from  himself,  (see  form  No.  12)  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  to  the  end 
that  he  may  be  relieved  from  further  responsibility  on  that  account. 

70 The  commander  of  any  permanently  embodied  regiment,  or 

(if  separated  by  companies  or  detachments)  the  commander  of  each 
company  or  detachment,  will  be  considered  as  having  the  immediate 
charge  of,  and  will  be  held  accountable  for,  all  arms,  ordnance  and 
ordnance  stores  ^  the  post,  issued  for  the  personal  armament  of  the 
troDps  of  his  command.  And  the  commander  of  each  military  post 
will  be  considered  as  having  the  immediate  charge  of,  and  will  be  held 
accountable  for,  all  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores  at  the  post,  which 
are  not  in  the  exclusive  service  of  any  regiment,  company  or  detach- 
ment, or  not  in  charge  of  an  officer  or  agent  of  the  Ordnance 
Bureau. 

71 The  commander  of  each  commpany  shall,  as  far  as  practi- 
cable, retain  and  keep  in  store  such  number  of  small  arms  and  sets 
of  accoutrements  as  may  be  sufficient,  with  those  in  use,  to  equip 
the  full  complement  of  men  established  by  law  for  his  command; 
and  whenever  any  of  such  arms  and  accoutrements  become  unser- 
viceable for  want  of  repairs,  which  cannot  be  made  at  the  post,  it 
shall  be  the  duty  of  the  commander  of  the  regiment  or  post  to  send 
them  to  the  nearest  or  most  convenient  arsenal  with  a  requisition  for 
immediate  repair;  but  in  no  case  shall  such  unserviceable  small  arms 
and  accoutrements  be  exchanged  for  others  when  they  can  be  made 
serviceable  by  repair,  nor  until  they  have  been  regularly  condemned 
by  an  inspecting  officer,  or   board  of  inspection  organized  by  the 


18  ORDNANCE   STORES   IN   SERVICE. 

commander  of  the  department.  It  is  made  the  duty  of  commanders 
of  regiments  to  see  that  this  regulation  is  strictly  observed. 

72 Arms  and  accoutrements  condemned  as  totally  irreparable, 

tinder  the  provisions  of  the  preceding  article,  shall  be  broken  up, 
and  the  serviceable  parts  retained  and  accounted  for  by  the  com- 
mander of  the  company,  to  be  used  for  repairs.  The  commander  of 
each  company  shall  also,  on  his  requisition,  made  in  the  usual  form, 
be  furnished  by  the  Ordnance  Bureau  with  a  due  proportion  of  such 
spare  parts  as  are  necessary  for  repairs. 

73 Officers  who  may  execute  the  duty  of  repairing  arms  and 

accoutrements,  under  the  provisions  of  article  71,  shall  transmit  to 
the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  in  each  case  of  repair,  a  statement  of  the 
cost  thereof,  in  order  that  it  may  accompany  to  the  treasury  the 
quarterly  return  of  the  officer  commanding  the  company  to  ■which 
the  articles  belonged,  and  that  such  officer  may  be  held  accountable 
for  the  damages,  according  to  the  regulations. 

74 Accoutrements  and  artillery  equipments,  only  partly  worn* 

vrhich  have  become  soiled  or  discolored  by  use  in  the  field,  and 
"which  are  reported  as  yet  sufficiently  strong  to  endure  much  more 
service,  shall  be  cleaned  and  furbished  and  restored  to  their  original 
new  appearance,  as  nearly  as  can  be  done,  when  they  will  be  issued 
to  the  troops  for  service,  on  the  usual  requisitions. 

75 Whenever  an  enlisted  soldier  is  transferred  from  one  com- 
pany to  another,  his  arms  and  accoutrements  shall  be  retained  with 
the  company  to  which  he  belonged,  unless  the  urgency  of  the  service 
shall  otherwise  require. 

7G In  all  cases  in  which  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  are  lost 

or  damaged  by  the  negligence  or  misconduct  of  any  officer,  cadet,  or 
enlisted  man,  the  amount  of  said  loss  or  damage  shall  be  charged  to 
the  delinquent  on  the  next  muster  roll,  and  the  facts  shall  be

stantly retain  in  store,  and  exhibit  on  his  quarterly  returns  of 
property,  the  regulation  arm-chests  hereinafter  mentioned,  in  which 
all  arms  and  accoutrements,  not  in  the  hands  of  the  troops,  shall  be

pany or  detachment,  shall  be  responsible  that  all  surplus  chests  or 
cases,  other  than  packing  boxes,  in  which  arms  or  other  ordnance 
stores  have  been  conveyed  to  his  command  are  carefully  preserved.

88 Every  ofiicer  commanding  a  permanently  embodied  regi- 

ment,  or  a  company,  garrison  or  detachment,  shall  make  a  report 
every  two  months  to  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  stating  all  damages  to

whose  negligence  or  abuse  the  said  damages  were  occasioned ;  which 
reports  shall  be  consolidated  by  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  and  trans- 
mitted with  his  remarks  and  orders  thereon,  every  six  months,  to 
the  superintendents  of  the  national  armories  and  inspecting  oflicers 
of  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  in  order  to  ascertain  and  correct  any  defects 
which  may  exist  in  the  manufacture  of  arms. 


SECTION  VL— UNSERVICEABLE  ORDNANCE  STORES. 

Article  89 Whenever  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  are  reported 

unserviceable,  thoy  shall  be  examined  by  an  inspector  general,  or 
some  other  officer  specially  designated  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  for 
that  purpose,  who  will  note  on  the  inventory  such  as  he  condemns 
and  such  as  he  considers  reparable  (see  form  No.  13).     He  shall  ro- 


22  UNSERVICEABLE   ORDNANCE   STORES. 

commend  the  stores  condemned  hj  bim  either  to  be  broken  up  at 
the  arsenal,  depot  or  military  post,  or  to  be  sold,  as  may  be  deemed 
most  advantageous  to  the  public  service ;  but  should  it  appear  to  the 
inspector  that  the  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  condemned  are  of 
too  little  value  to  cover  the  expense  of  sale  or  breaking  up,  he  shall 
recommend  them  to  be  dropped  from  the  return  as  useless.  Such  arms 
and  stores  as  the  inspector  may  consider  reparable  he  shall  direct 
either  to  be  repaired  at  the  arsenal,  depot  or  military  post,  or  to  be 
transported  to  the  nearest  or  most  convenient  arsenal  or  depot  of 
construction  or  repairs.  The  list  of  condemned  stores,  (see  form 
No.  10,)  with  the  remarks  and  opinion  of  the  inspector,  shall  be 
made  in  duplicate,  and  forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  for  the 
further  action  of  the  President  of  the  Confederate  States.  The  in- 
ventory shall  be  left  with  the  officer  having  charge  of  the  ordnance 
and  ordnance  stores. 

90 All  articles  condenaned  and  ordered  for  sale  by  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Confederate  States  shall  be  disposed  of  at  public  auction, 
under  the  superintendence  of  such  officers  as  may  be  designated  for 
that  purpose  by  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  due  public  notice  being  given 
of  the  sale.  An  authorized  auctioneer  shall  be  employed,  and  the 
sale  shall  be  conducted  in  conformity  with  the  established  usages  of 
the  place  where  made. 

91 An  officer  directing  a  sale  of  unserviceable  ordnance  stores 

"will  cause  the  articles  to  be  offered  in  such  lots  as  he  msiy  think  will 
command  the  best  pi'ices  ;  and  he  is  authorized  to  bid  in  or  suspend 
the  sale  of  any  articles  when,  in  his  opinion,  they  will  command 
better  prices  at  private  sale.  No  article  shall  be  sold  at  private  sale 
until  after  it  shall  have  been  offered  at  auction,  nor  then  at  a  price 
less  than  that  offered  at  public  sale. 

92 All  sales  shall  be  for  cash.  The  auctioneer  shall  make  cer- 
tified bills  of  sale  of  the  property  and  deliver  them  to  the  superin- 
tending officer,  to  whom  the  money  shall  be  paid  on  delivery  of  the 
property.  All  expenses  of  the  sale  shall  be  paid  from  the  proceeds. 
The  auctioneer's  certified  account  of  sales  in  detail,  and  the  vouchers 
for  the  expenses  of  the  sale,  shall  be  forwarded  to  the  ordnance 
office  unconnected  with  quarterly  accounts,  whence,  after  examina- 
tian  and  record,  they  shall  be  transmitted  to  the  proper  auditor  for

settlement;  the  nett  proceeds  of  the  sale  shall  be  disposed  of  in  such 
manner  as  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  shall  direct. 


SECTION  VII.— ISSUE  OF  ORDNANCE  STOKES  TO  MILITIA  IN 
THE  SERVICE  OF  THE  CONFEDERATE  STATES. 

Article  93 Whenever  any  regiment,  company  or  detachment 

of  militia  shall  be  called  into  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States, 
they  are  mustered  and  inspected  by  an  inspector  general,  or  some 
duly  authorized  officer  of  the  regular  troops,  who  shall  ascertain  the 
condition  of  the  arms,  accoutrements,  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores 
in  their  possession,  and  if  it  should  be  found  necessary  to  supply 
them  with  arms  and  accoutrements,  or  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores, 
belonging  to  the  Confederate  States,  the  commander  thereof  shall 
make  requisition  for  the  articles  required,  according  to  form  No.  25, 
which,  if  sanctioned  by  the  inspecting  officer,  shall  be  submitted  for 
approval  or  modification  to  the  commander  of  the  regular  troops 
present  or  in  the  vicinity ;  and  upon  such  requisition,  duly  approved 
by  such  commander,  any  officer  or  agent  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau 
may  issue  the  articles  required,  taking  duplicate  receipts  therefor, 
one  of  which  shall  be  forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  in  order 
that  the  same  may  be  charged  on  the  books  of  the  bureau  to  the 
officer  who  received  them.  And  the  commander  of  such  regiment, 
battalion,  company  or  detachment  shall  be  held  responsible  for  the 
care  and  preservation  of  the  articles  thus  received,  and  that  the 
arms  and  accoutrements  are  issued  to  the  men  constituting  his  com- 
mand, and  that  each  individual  is  charged  on  the  muster  roll  with 
the  actual  number  of  arms  and  accoutrements  delivered  to  him  ;  and 
the  same  shall  be  entered  upon  each  successive  muster  roll  until  the 
men  shall  be  discharged. 

94 When  any  militia  are  about  to  be  discharged,  they  are  mus- 
tered for  payment  by  an  inspector  general,  or  some  other  duly 
authorized  officer  of  the  regular  troops,  who  shall,  at  the  same  time, 
critically  inspect  the  arms  and  accoutrements  in  their  possession,  in 
order  to  ascertain  if  any  loss  or  damage  has  accrued  to  them  whilst

in  their  possession,  either  by  negligence  or  carelessness:  and  if  any^ 
shall  charge  the  amount  of  said  loss  or  damage,  according  to  the 
rates  established  by  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  to  each  individual,  oppo- 
site to  his  name  on  the  muster  roll,  which  amount  the  paymaster 
shall  deduct  from  the  pay  due  each  individual  at  the  time  of  his 
discharge.  And  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  inspecting  officer,  or  of 
an  officer  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  at  the  time  of  muster  and  inspec- 
tion for  discharge,  to  receive  the  arms  and  accoutrements,  ordnance 
and  ordnance  stores,  in  the  possession  of  the  regiment,  battalion, 
company  or  detachment,  and  to  give  duplicate  receipts  for  the  same 
to  the  commander  thereof,  in  order  that  he  may  settle  his  accounts 
with  the  Ordnance  Bureau. 

95 No  payments  shall  be  made  to  any  militia  called  into  the 

service  of  the  Confederate  States  until  they  shall  have  been  mus- 
tered, and  shall  have  delivered  up  their  arms  and  accoutrements,  as 
set  forth  in  the  preceding  article,  unless  they  were  absent  by  reason 
of  sickness,  or  some  other  justifiable  cause,  at  the  time  of  the  muster 
and  inspection  for  discharge ;  and  in  such  case  they  shall  produce 
receipts  to  the  paymaster  that  they  have  deposited  their  arms  and 
accoutrements  with  some  officer  authorized  to  receive  them,  who 
shall  state  in  the  receipts  the  condition  of  the  arms  and  accoutre- 
ments, and  the  amount  of  loss  or  damage,  (if  any  has  accrued  whilst 
the  same  were  in  their  possession,)  according  to  the  rates  established 
by  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  which  amount  the  paymaster  shall  deduct 
from  the  pay  due  them  at  the  time  of  their  discharge. 

96 In  all  cases  when  arms,  accoutrements,  ordnance,  or  ord- 
nance stores,  issued  to  any  officer,  non-commissioned  officer,  or 
soldier  of  the  militia,  called  into  the  service  of  the  Confederate 
States,  shall  have  been  lost  by  unavoidable  circumstances,  it  shall 
be  the  duty  of  the  inspecting  officer,  who  shall  muster  and  inspect 
the  same  for  discharge,  to  require  the  affidavit  of  some  officer  or 
non-commissioned  officer,  testifying  to  the  unavoidable  circum- 
stances of  the  loss,  and  such  affidavit,  if  deemed  satisfactory,  shall 
be  sufficient  authority  for  the  inspecting  officer  to  relieve  the  indi- 
vidual Avho  shall  have  been  charged  with  the  loss  from  all  charges 
on  account  of  such  loss,  which  shall  be  entered  with  the  affidavit  on 
the  proper  muster  roll.

Chief  of  Ordnance,  -with  the  approbation  of  the  Secretary  of  War, 
and  the  mode  of  inspection  and  proof  shall  be  the  same  for  all  arti- 
cles of  the  same  kind,  whether  fabricated  at  the  ordnance  establish- 
ments, or  procured  by  contract  or  by  open  purchase.

officers  of  the  Ordnance  Bureau  as  he  may,  from  time  to  time,  desig- 
nate for  that  purpose,  who  will  be  held  strictly  responsible  that  all 
ordnance  and  projectiles  received  by  them  for  the  Confederate  States 
shall  have  been  subjected  to  the  inspection  and  proof  required,  and 
that  they  shall  conform  in  all  respects  to  the  established  models. 

99 The  inspecting  officer  of  ordnance  and  projectiles  at  the 

foundries  shall  give  to  the  contractors  triplicate  certificates  of  in- 
spection, according  to  form  No.  32. 

100 Duplicate  reports  of  inspection  of  ordnance  and  projectiles 

at  the  foundries  (forms  Nos.  33  and  34)  shall  be  made  immediately 
after  each  inspection ;  one  copy  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Chief  of 
Ordnance ;  and  in  the  month  of  July  a  consolidated  report  (form 
No.  35)  of  all  such  inspections,  made  during  the  year  ending  30th 
June,  shall  be  forwarded  by  the  inspecting  officer  to  the  Chief  of

purpose. 

102 It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  inspecting  officer  of  the  con- 
tract service,  under  the  orders  of  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  to  inspect 
all  muskets,  rifles,  carbines,  pistols,  swords,  sabres,  or  other  small 
arms  and  accoutrements,  that  may  be  manufactured  in  the  contract 
service  for  the  Confederate  States.  He  will  be  held  strictly  re- 
sponsible that  the  said  arms  and  accoutrements  are  in  exact  con-

the  commanding  officer  thereof,  on  the  requisition  of  the  inspecting 
officer. 

103 Each  assistant  inspector  shall,  previous  to  entering  on  the 

duty,  take  an  oath  before  a  competent  magistrate  for  its  faithful 
discharge  ;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  inspecting  officer  to  see

ceived by  the  inspecting  officers  for  the  use  of  the  Confederate  States 
at  private  armories,  the  principal  inspector  will  cause  them  imme- 
diately to  be  boxed  for  transportation  in  his  presence,  and  will  secure 
each  box  by  fixing  his  seals  thereon.

with  this  particular  service.  The  original  reports  shall  be  forwarded 
to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  as  soon  as  the  several  inspections  are  com-
